Trump and Harris Prepare for Key Debate

As the 2024 election approaches, Vice President Kamala Harris has formally secured the Democratic nomination and chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, while Donald Trump has nominated Sen. JD Vance. The two are set to face off in their only scheduled debate before the November 5 election, prompting extensive preparations by media organizations to fact-check Trump's frequent distortions. Harris's political strategy, characterized by a disciplined yet combative approach, will be tested against Trump's confrontational style. Fact-checkers, including PolitiFact and The New York Times, have mobilized large teams to cover the debate, anticipating a high volume of false claims from Trump. The scrutiny will also extend to Harris as she defends her and President Biden's record while presenting her policy agenda. This debate is crucial for both candidates as it could influence voter perceptions and decisions leading up to the election.
